April 18, 2003

CLEMMONS, N.C. - The Maryland women's golf team is in sixth place after the first round of the ACC Championship. With a 43-over-par 327, the Terps are just two strokes behind fifth-place Florida State.

In their last tournament as collegiate golfers, the seniors are leading the way for the Terps. Carter Crowther (Kilmarnock, Va.) is tied for seventh with a 7-over-par 78 (40-38). Erin Clasper (North Potomac, Md.) is just one stroke behind Crowther with an 8-over-par 79 (39-40) and tied for 12th.

Just one week after her sixth-place finish at the JMU/Bonnie Hoover Invitational, sophomore Kristen Shew (Hockessin, Del.) is tied for 18th place with an 11-over-par 82 (42-40). Junior Marie Harper (West Point, Va.) is tied for 25th place with a 17-over-par 88 (45-43), and junior Stacey Wolejko (Hatfield, Mass.) is tied for 28th with an 18-over-par 89 (44-45).

In search of its eighth consecutive ACC title, Duke leads the tournament with a 26-over-par 310, five strokes ahead of second-place N.C. State (315, +31). Courtney Pomeranz of N.C. State is the individual leader after carding a 3-over-par 74 (37-37).

Temperatures were in the low 40s Friday, and the teams played through heavy rain and strong winds, causing scores to be higher than normal.

Second round play begins at 8:30 a.m. Saturday at the par-71, 6,348-yard Salem Glen Country Club.
